Try out ZTP Feature Examples

In this chapter, we learned about Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) in FortiSOAR. We installed the ZTP Framework, created a ZTP Profile, and ZTP’d a FortiGate. However, we only touched on a fraction of the features and capabilities of the ZTP Framework. To get a glimpse at the full potential we’ll install the ZTP Examples Solution Pack.

Install the ZTP Framework

  1. Go to the Content Hub by clicking the Content Hub tab in the left pane
  2. Search for FortiManager ZTP Flow - Feature Examples in the Content Hub ztp_search ztp_search
  3. Open the Solution Pack and click the Install button

Check out the ZTP Examples

  1. Navigate to Managers > ZTP Profiles in the left pane
  2. Verify that you see the new ZTP Profiles ztp_profiles ztp_profiles
    Tip

    The purpose of each ZTP Profile is to demonstrate different features and capabilities of the ZTP Framework.

  3. Click on any of the ZTP Profiles to see the details ztp_profile_details ztp_profile_details
    Note

    This profile will:

    • Authorize the FortiGate to the FortiManager and then ZTP the FortiGate.
    • Create a site_id variable
    • Prompt you to input a value for the variable
    • Update the variable on the FortiManager’s Device DB

Try it out

  1. Navigate to FortiManager > Managers in the left pane
  2. Check the box next to your FortiManager record
  3. Click Execute and select Device Model - Create Randomly execute_ztp_example execute_ztp_example
  4. Provide 101-118 to the Range of devices input field provide_models provide_models
  5. Click Submit
  6. Locate the ZTP quicklink section at the top left of any FortiManager subpage and click ZTP Profile and Phase for Devices ztp_quicklink ztp_quicklink
  7. Verify that you see the new devices (may take ~30 seconds) new_devices new_devices
  8. Watch as the devices get assigned to the different ZTP profiles
  9. You can also see click the ZTP Profile and Phase Summary quicklink to see the ZTP phase for each device ztp_profiles ztp_profiles
    Note

    Model devices in FortiManager cannot have a Policy Package pushed to them, so not everything in the ZTP flow can be demonstrated here.

If you check FortiManager, you will also see the model devices in the Devices & Groups section. devices_groups devices_groups
